What is a “pattern”?
This year the SBMA is asking our community to expand how we define patterns. Patterns can be a repeating design, a way of visually interpreting data, or echoing of visual elements such as line, shape, color, form and texture. We are excited to see how our community interprets and showcases this year’s theme by asking ourselves – how can I define patterns?, how can I use elements of art in patterns?, what patterns do I come across in my daily routine?, and how do patterns play a role in my community?
